SeaDream your way into French Riviera




SEADREAM Yacht Club's boutique SeaDream II will this April sail the entire western Mediterranean coast from one of the oldest cities in the world, Malaga in Spain's south, to the pulsating little principality of Monaco in the Mediterranean's far north.

After leaving Malaga, whose history dates back some 2,800 years, SeaDream II will take eight nights from April 28 calling into such desired port cities as Cartagena, Valencia and Barcelona in Spain, Collioure and Sanary-sur-Mer in France, and the French Riviera's glamorous Saint-Tropez and Nice before sliding into Monaco's casino capital of Monte Carlo.

Carrying a maximum of just 112 guests served by 95 crew, the mega motor cruiser's prices for the eight nights begin from US$4287pp twin share including award-winning cuisine, selected wines, spirits and bar drinks, power and sail water-sports, golf simulator, fitness centre, port charges and taxes, and even staff and crew gratuities.
